The recent surge in four stroke outboard has an added advantage above just offering better reliability and exceptional fuel economy but they also attract fish.

Looking back over my records the number of fish I have not only caught but simply raised has tripled.

Most interestingly it is the increase in strikes on the lures close to the boat, while there is no doubt my fishing skills have improved over the years I have little doubt up grading to a 4 stroke has improved my chances considerably.
